Watcha Doin (audio: Mr. Stranger)  (April 6, 2005)

yaar. this is just abnormal. there arent supposed to be so many mosquitos. there is like no escape from these bloody insects. i have half killed myself spraying pesticide in every room and inhaling it ever so jollily but the freaking mosquitos just keep coming. and man theyre biting me. :( on my feet :( i dont like them. and mommy asks me, looking at the can of mortien on my dresser (next to all my pretty things), "why is the cockroach killer spray on display." you dont know. its my double barrel shotgun.

today i was doing this songwriting assignment where we were supposed to compose and record a bluesy song in pentatonic scale like we did in the previous lesson. but the catch was that we had to experiment with at least two different instruments. so i had the one guitar recording of the first one. but i cant play any other freaking instrument. so anyway. ive done the assignment, its a god awful piano/keyboard version of my pentatonic bluesy song. ive named the song mr.stranger since that seems like the jist of the song. it could easily qualify as the no.1 stalker love song of the year. its quite horrible songwriting, and now additionally horrible keyboard skills... but at least the pentatonic blues scale is accurate. lol. besides everything, its my first keyboard playing song. so i want to put it up on the blog.

here are the lyrics because im singing really wierdy since i was concentrating more on the keyboard playing.
